Calendar can't read Contacts?

For some reason my Calendar doesn't recognize my Contacts.

I used to be able to click Add Others and add names from my contacts
to an appointment, but now when I do this, the list is empty. The
"show names from" dialog is also empty.

My contacts are still there when I click on Contacts.

What could be causing this?

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP. I am not connected to an
Exchange server. I am just using a local PST file and a POP email
account.

Thanks!

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook.  If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.
